Our assessment
The evidence shows that Pure Encapsulations GarliActive is a garlic-based supplement, but the data provided contains no specific information on garlic itself. The available data covers the mineral calcium. Based on the data, we cannot assess the benefits or risks of this specific product. For calcium, which may be a concern if you are also taking separate supplements, the evidence shows it supports bone density and muscle relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block. It supports bone mineralization, helping deposit minerals into your skeleton to maintain density. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, allowing your muscles to relax and your nerves to signal properly after contraction [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for Pure Encapsulations GarliActive specifically. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but this number is not specific to this product [FDA data]. For calcium, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Without specific data on Pure Encapsulations GarliActive, we cannot make a recommendation for this product. If you are taking calcium supplements separately, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline and fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.
